Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A method for mediating requests for content-related services, the method comprising: receiving a request for a location-dependent content-related service sent from an end-user client device, wherein the end-user client device is determined to be in a geographic location; assigning a location-dependent service provider from a plurality of service providers to provide the requested location-dependent content-related service to the end-user client device based on the determined geographic location of the end-user client device; generating, by way of a mediation server, configuration information based on an indication that the end-user client device is located in the geographic location, wherein the configuration information specifies whether the end-user client device has access to the requested location-dependent content-related service; sending, by way of the mediation server, the configuration information to the end-user client device; and using the configuration information to: provide the requested location-dependent content-related service over a communication network to the end-user client device in accordance with a set of identified permissions, wherein the set of permissions is based on the determined geographic location of the end-user client device, and determine what online information is tracked and reported with respect to online activity associated with the requested location-dependent content-related service on the end-user device.

2

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes information regarding how to communicate with the service provider.

3

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at the mediation server, a request for a content-related service from an end-user client device, and wherein the configuration information includes information regarding the requested content-related service.

4

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information includes information regarding service options.

5

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the set of identified permissions indicates parameters for tracking and evaluating the activity associated with the requested content-related service.

6

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining, by way of the mediation server, the set of identified permissions.

7

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the set of identified permissions is generated based on geographic location information provided in a request for content-related service from the end-user client device.

8

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: assigning a service provider from a plurality of service providers to an end-user client device based on a type of end-user client device; and generating the configuration information, by way of a mediation device, based on an indication that the end-user client device is associated with the type of end-user client device.

9

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: assigning a service provider from a plurality of service providers to an end-user client device based on a user age; and generating the configuration information, by way of a mediation device, based on an indication that a user of the end-user client device is of the age.

10

10. A system for mediating requests for content-related services, the system comprising: a mediation server that: receives a request for a location-dependent content-related service sent from an end-user client device, wherein the end-user client device is determined to be in a geographic location, assigns a location-dependent service provider from a plurality of service providers to provide the requested location-dependent content-related service to the end-user client device based on the determined geographic location of the end-user client device, generates configuration information based on an indication that the end-user client device is located in the geographic location, wherein the configuration information specifies whether the end-user client device has access to the requested location-dependent content-related service, and sends the configuration information to the end-user client device; and wherein the service provider uses the configuration information to: provide the requested location-dependent content-related service over a communication network to the end-user client device in accordance with a set of identified permissions, wherein the set of permissions is based on the determined geographic location of the end-user client device, and determine what online information is tracked and reported with respect to online activity associated with the requested location-dependent content-related service on the end-user device.

11

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the configuration information includes information regarding how to communicate with the service provider.

12

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the mediation server further receives a request for a content-related service from an end-user client device, and wherein the configuration information includes information regarding the requested content-related service.

13

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the configuration information includes information regarding service options.

14

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the set of identified permissions indicates parameters for tracking and evaluating the activity associated with the requested content-related service.

15

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the mediation server further determines the set of identified permissions.

16

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the mediation server determines the set of identified permissions based on geographic location information provided in a request for content-related service from the end-user client device.

17

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the mediation server further: assigns a service provider from a plurality of service providers to an end-user client device based on a type of end-user client device; and generates the configuration information, by way of a mediation device, based on an indication that the end-user client device is associated with the type of end-user client device.

18

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the mediation server further: assigns a service provider from a plurality of service providers to an end-user client device based on a user age; and generates the configuration information, by way of a mediation device, based on an indication that a user of the end-user client device is of the age.

19

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied there on a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for mediating requests for content-related services, the method comprising: receiving a request for a location-dependent content-related service sent from an end-user client device, wherein the end-user client device is determined to be in a geographic location; assigning a location-dependent service provider from a plurality of service providers to provide the requested location-dependent content-related service to the end-user client device based on the determined geographic location of the end-user client device; generating configuration information based on an indication that the end-user client device is located in the geographic location, wherein the configuration information specifies whether the end-user client device has access to the requested location-dependent content-related service; sending the configuration information to the end-user client device; and using the configuration information to: provide the requested location-dependent content-related service over a communication network to the end-user client device in accordance with a set of identified permissions, wherein the set of permissions is based on the determined geographic location of the end-user client device, and determine what online information is tracked and reported with respect to online activity associated with the requested location-dependent content-related service on the end-user device.
